I'm having a slight problem.. How long can your G3 stay away from the charger? And with which kind of usage?
Mine is dead after 8~10 hours with absolutely light usage (1:30 sot, checking whatsapp, but not even responding the groups, no facebook usage). Every time I turn the phone on, BBS complains about 30~50% awake time, but when I open it up, I can't for the love of God find what the heck is causing it.
Example, it says phone was with the screen off for 30 minutes, with 50% awake. And every single option (but kernel wakelocks) shows apps with about 2, 3 minutes total wakelock time.
When I first bought it, I rooted it right away and restored my TitaniumBackup, and the phone was getting hot on my pocket. I mean, HOT. Battery couldn't get past 6 hours with the usage I had on my G2, and phone was unconfortable to handle and make a call.
And about that, it seems that the battery drains slower during calls, rather than the phone idling.
I started using Greenify and added every possible app to it, but it didn't help anything.
What may be my problem? How can I find what is causing such wakelocks?
Those pictures have been taken few hours ago, when I posted it on G+, and the screen on time represents 1:05hrs.
It hit 15% with 11:53hr total with 1:50h screen on time. Estimated recharge time is around 6 hours. It sucks

Flash a new Rom...like cloudy or something that works for your phone, but don't restore apps and data with titanium bu.
Don't restore android home or anything like that either....just restore apps....then you should be ok.
You battery useage is not normal, but this should fix it.
Cheers!
I'm using CloudyG3. I feel like it was good at the beginning, but gotten worse with time.
I'm seriously thinking about flashing it fresh and not restoring anything, letting Google do its stuff.
That should work....you probably restored an appnsetting that doesn't like the Rom....that's hard to troubleshoot and easier to re flash and start from scratch
Did it. Yet no solution.
I always get 45% phone awake, on BBS. The culprit seems to be Google Play Services. I've tried greenifiying a thousand of apps, but it doesn't seem to help.

It seems to be related to location services, but I've never had such problem in my life, and G3 GPS is pretty quick to get a lock on. Phone is also getting lukewarm on my pocket for no apparent reason (warm enough to notice it in pocket, at random moments)
That's still not normal.....not sure what to say. Maybe there is hardware failure. Sorry I can't be of more assistance....that should have solved it, but if it's Google play services, you can't even attribute it to a rogue 3rd party app.
Greenified Google Play Services..
http://imgur.com/ildhKIG
So, it IS a Google Play Services problem, but what is causing it? Also, how bad is to have GPlay Services greenified?
I get a 0.4% or less drop each hour that I have no screen time and I'm in wifi (with 2 gmail and 1 exchange accounts syncing/push notifications). I can easily go over two days on a single battery charge with perhaps 30 min of screen time. That is pretty typical from what I've read. Something is wrong with your phone/apps if you are getting well less than that.

Still working on that. A full day without a charge is more than enough for me.
Google Play Services finally got out from the top 3 battery sippers, but I don't know at what cost. It's greenified.
The top 5 currently is:
Screen (29% - 1:14 sot)
Android Operating System (14% - 16m 48s Total CPU, execution time 2h 2m)
Android System (12% - 29m 15s Total CPU, 11m 43s execution time)
Google Play Services (7% - 3m 8s Total CPU, 23m 11s execution time, 1m 59s GPS)
Inactive Phone (4% - Time in use 5h 48m 29s)
Phone was supposed to be dead by now. It still has 66% left, with 19hrs remaining. That is a -HUGE- improvement.
Usage is nowhere near I had with the G2 (1:14hr sot), but it now gives margin to use it more intensively. Hope it stays cool and economic like that tomorrow, when I'll start using it as a normal smartphone to me.
This is caused by Google tracking you. You should disable location reporting and if possible network location service (GPS only). I have a Tasker profile that enables and disables network location with screen. I get about 3%/hr with pretty moderate/heavy usage.

That isn't a option for me. I've successfuly recovered my last G2 4 times from robbers using tracking tools. I can't disable GPS.
I hear GPS only gets activated when necessary, so that doesn't seem to be a big deal. There are some useless trackings, sure, such as to show where I parked my car and stuff.
I'll try disabling Location Reporting and see if I can track it back.
----------
Looks like I can! But Google Play Services consumption is already low. The "problem" now is on the screen (unsolveable, I think. And I ain't downsampling it to 1080p) and Android System/Android OS.
Waiting for the Lollipop miracle, I guess.
Heck, I have yet to go below 5 hours of screen on time with CloudyG3 1.0.. Its been 5 days, and on the first two days i got 6 hours sot.
And thats not 6 sot/6 uptime, it went 20+ hours of uptime(off charger), with that amount of screen on.
I greenified a bit, am on art, and i'm not gonna lir to you, i tend to decrease my brightness lately, why?
Because i don't want a flashlight to my face in a dimmed room, and I can still perfectly percieve everything thats on my screen even with it not being 100% at all times..
Here are my most recent screenshots.
Can't say I'm happy with deep sleep "drain", but oh well, its not that bad...

It seemingly was Google Play Services that were draining the battery like mad. I'm using CloudyG3 1.1.
I had WLD already, and CPU wakelocks were little, if I remember well. Problem was on "Wakeup Triggers".
Sunday's a slow day, and the phone was pretty much the whole time on the wireless craddle, thus keeping charge at 100%. But the moments I took it off the charger and used it for a while on the living room, it seemed OK.
I've let it off the charger during the night to see how it would fare, and it dropped 10% in 9 hours, with virtually no screen on time (I checked the clock sometimes. Bet it doesn't even sums 20 second screen on time). It's nowhere near the 0,6%/h people claim, but I think I'm a pretty heavy user (4G, wifi, bluetooth all the time, no notifications disabled etc).
Funny that the G3 seems to take a while to drop from 100%, though.
Tomorrow's a full day, I leave in the morning and only get back home at 22hrs, with heavy usage. Phone was previously dying on me @ 14hrs.
If it works, it'll be nice. Weird that I've never had a issue with Google Play Services, and it seems that greenifying it did the trick.

disable location because play services checks it as mad or download xposed module lion tamer(donation) and set when it can check (in seconds) I am guessing that the nlp.... wakelock is the biggest in google play services:laugh:
lg are optimizing this in the new versions,
I think a lot of screen
I made a day through! Yeaaaahhhh
Not with some issues, though. This phone seems to be a bit wakelock happy.
First, it was Pushbullet that seemed to be stuck doing something. Greenified it and it's OK now.
But now it seems to be some issue with "com.android.internal.telephony.ACTION_CHECK_NETSTAT".

Is it the fast dormancy thing people talk about? The signal wasn't very strong today, but is it supposed to do a wakelock?
battery issue with lg g3
hi just got my Lg G3 the battery lasted me approx 12 hours with moderate usage and full screen display.
i installed juice defender and kept the screen display on auto.
i believe by doing that the battery drain will not be much.
my phone battery drain is only 4% in the past 3 hours.
try this solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2822726
This is what I did along with using greenify to stop the wakelocks. Haven't had any issue at all with battery or deep sleep after this.

For the past 3 days my battery is dropping at an incredibly fast rate. Even if its idle it will drop about 20 % every half hour with little to no use. I rooted my phone and am now running fresh with kings kernel but no change. I an even dropping in airplane mode. What can it be? I left it at 90% connected to wifi with the sync off and when I woke up 6 hours later it was at 20%. Any solutions?
Sounds like mine, just turning on the screen drops the batter 1-2%.
Hit menu and click on settings. From there, go to About Phone and then to Battery. Note the awake time and turn the screen off for thirty seconds or so. Turn the screen back on and check the awake time again. If it's not within five to ten seconds of the time you noted before you turned the screen off, something is keeping your phone awake, which does a number on the battery.
square parts or system panel might give a better idea of what specifically is draining your battery, or preventing it from sleeping correctly.
It seems fine, about 15 seconds difference. The weird thing is this only started happening about 3 days ago, I rooted yesterday, and its still doing it.
Go for what Fachadick said. Download and install Spare Parts from the Android Market. Go to Battery History and click on the dropdown box where it says "other usage" and click on "partial wake usage". If anything is taking up one of those bars, that's your problem.
If there's nothing notable there, it could be damn near any of your applications. When you root, you lose settings for you apps (depending on how you rooted), so your autosyncs could be going crazy. Might wanna check those.

What he said Rooting won't fix battery issues. Rooting and installing a new ROM is just like reinstalling your OS. It can fix things or not depending on how it is configured. Likewise it won't fix your phone if hardware is bad.
does it drop steadily or just the first 5-10% or so? There is a well documented issue where the trickle charge stops at 100% and then shuts off so the phone actually drains a bit before it kicks in again. When you first unplug it, the reading may drop quickly until it reaches the real level.
Likewise depending on what you have installed and how it is set up, there may be something keeping your phone from sleeping. Check for partial wake use like the previous poster said and that will tell you what process/application is keeping your phone awake and draining battery.
i had this same problem about the battery before i rooted my phone. after i rooted it i got overclock widget and i get through the day with so much more battery left. i make sure my battery is full right before i go to bed, i put it on airplane mode and go to bed wake up around 7 a.m.(my battery is always at 98 when i get up in the morning so 2% in about 8 hrs) and i get home around 8:30 and my battery is at 48%. and no i dont leave it lying around with the screen off. i constantly go on, text, internet etc.
hope it works for you too!

I am having this same problem and it started about 2 days ago. I downloaded Spare parts and looked up the partial usage (screenshots attached). I'm not sure what I'm suppose to determine from this. Mail is showing with more fill-in than any other program, when I click on it, I get the details. Can someone help?

It doesn't appear (to me anyway) that you're having any issues with partial wake time. You may have a runaway app draining your battery and cpu - system panel is invaluable for hunting those down. It will show you each running process with exacly how much cpu it's used. It gets even better and gives evenmore detail if you let it monitor your system over time.

to be honest, I'm not sure - I don't remember what kind of detail it gives you in the free version, but the app is so useful to monitor cpu and battery, as well as for hunting down rougue apps, I would recommend the paid version as a "required" app for all rooters.
when you load it up, the default screen is essentially a taskkiller - but more importantly, you can go into settings and have it show ALL processes, and if you select one of the apps or processes from that main screen, it tells you when it was started, how much cpu it used, how much memory its used, and at least in the paid version, a historical graph of cpu usage - so you can see exactly when it used the cpu over the past 2 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, 3 days, or over the past week.

Bluetooth is off, 4g is off (when's cincinnati going live already!??! Just the heart of downtown and the mall)
Wifi is off, and I've been turning off gps now, but i always used to leave it on and made it through the day.
"Cell Standby" is next with 8%, everything else below that.
I kill everything with task manager now and it doesn't seem to help at all.
It is not possible to exaggerate how fast the battery is being drained. It drops by 1-2% each 45 seconds or so. I've done the Charge-for-8-hours-turn-off-charge-trickle-charge-unplug-trickle-charge-unplug-etc thing last night and no help. This is with no widgets installed, no live wallpaper, no music, when for months i can make it through the day with a little pandora, bluetooth while driving, a game or two, internet, maps, and several other apps throughout the day. I've stopped everything but messaging and phone calls and it still drains just as fast.
PLEASE HELP!
I don't know if this applies to anyone in this thread, but after installing a new rom sometimes I forget that the Gtalk/Gchat app resets itself to automatically sign in, and drains the battery while running in the background.
Changing it to not run automatically helps out for me, although I feel that I may have gotten slightly better battery life out of the rooted stock rom than running the King kernel I'm using right now. At least in terms of percentage drop. I never really reset my battery stats or recalibrate after installing a new rom, don't know how much that has an effect on the readings.
This is turning into a deal breaker
Its not latitude, off. Not ANYTHING as it still happens with everything off and all apps killed in task manager.
No background, no live wallpaper (even though i used to have one all day). No music (even though i used to have pandora on a couple hours a day). screen brightness is always low (even though i used to leave it above medium, and would turn it up to high to watch video or a game, and still made it most of the day before).
The phone's battery use thing swears its "Android System" thats taking by far the most, not even cell standby got larger when i unplugged it in the basement where there's no service.
i've turned off everything i could think of, no apps 'auto update' and i've put all syncing and updating and stuff to manual or off that i could find.
I don't think its a faulty battery because it is ridiculously noticeable that something has changed in that ANDROID SYSTEM is now a power hog. Why and what do to?????

Have you pulled the battery lately? Give that a shot.
Yesterday as I started my day, i pulled my GN from its charger (99%) and made my journey to uni. The trip takes about 50 mins. For the past month now Ive been using poweramp and have had no problems. But when i got to class i realised i had like 25% power during my trip and the back of the GN was a bit warm. I closed all programs and the power drain stopped. I was a bit concerned so a few hours later when i tried playing music again on poweramp but nothing drained the power. So maybe it was a freak occurrence?
So I went to bed last night and the phone was fine. something around 80% power. I woke up 5 hours into my sleep to check on my phone (its a bad habit) and went back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. When i woke up i found my phone had discharged a whole lot of power again randomly in that space of a few hours.
So what the hell happened in that time?! All I did was turn the screen on and turned it off. My usage patterns have not changed.
here is an screen shot of my power usage. You can see the first drop of power, thats nothing of concern as i was playing angry birds space before bed. Then you see the straight line as the phone was idle while i was sleeping. The next drop is when I woke up to check my phone and that's when the discharging happens again. Then you see it recovering when i woke up and closed all the background apps in hope that it would stop the power drain..which it did.

No new apps, but some app updates. I know at least light flow was updated.
this random power discharge is really getting annoying. It happened again today.
A new symptom seems that the video doesnt load on the phone. for example, trying to load youtube or recorded videos saved on my phone.
Originally i thought my 3g was playing up but when it wouldnt load a video i recorded that was a bit unusual. in fact the gallery app froze and crashed.
Did you search the forum and install CPU Spy and Better Battery stats?
Get some data and find out what is causing wakelocks. Your phone has a lot of "wake" time.
See with CPU spy how much it is spending in Deep sleep and with Better Battery stats look what is preventing it from going into that state. If it's an app: simply remove it.
How's your signal service been lately? I get pretty stank reception at work so my gnex gets pretty warm at the top and battery life suffers. I just put it on airplane mode and reset the radio to force it to chill out for awhile

Thanks ill try that. Just installed CPU spy. Is there an alternative to better battery stats? Don't really want to fork out something to debug this.
I originally used OS monitor, and i checked what was running while the abnormal discharge was happening but nothing showed up.
You make a good point about the amount of wake time though. That long stretch where i was sleeping, my phone shouldnt be waking up that much should it? It didnt seem to affect battery life that much.

Better Battery Stats is the one I use and is recommended here a lot. It gives you insight in the wakelocks from the kernel, as well as from apps. Don't know about the alternatives. It's definately about the wakelocks. Your phone should be in Deep Sleep for 90% or so when you don't touch it (depending on your sync frequency off course).

The only account that is sync'ed is my gmail. The other two listed (twitter and dropbox) is turned off. Are there other options to turn the freq of when the phone syncs?
It's so strange because before these problems came about I had good battery life. ie: 3+hours of screen time.

You usually set it at System Settings, accounts & Synchronisation but some apps allow you to set it within the app... There are apps that allow you to make profiles so that, for instance at night, your device turns off all data. I used to use Juicedefender but that was IMHO more a placebo effect then a real improvement.
I definately think you should install the mentioned apps and after such drain re-appeared analyse what happened.
So after a little bit of troubleshooting I narrowed the problem down to Light Flow Lite.
Last night I went to bed with 100% charge. It discharged normally throughout the night until 4 hours in when I received an email. I woke up about an hour later and saw this so i suspected it was light flow. I cleared the notification and went back to sleep. I woke up about 30 mins later and was sad to see that my fears were confirmed. Battery discharge had settled down and was acting as normal. Just to be 100% sure though, i sent an email to myself to set off a notification and left it for another 30 mins, and as you can guess, the battery started draining excessively again.
Here is the screenshot. First part obviously is when im sleeping. then that dip is the email coming in. That TINY TINY dip upwards is another email coming in a min after I cleared the original email. So the battery drain continues until i wake up and clear it again. This time no more notifications came through and the battery drain settles down.
Again keep in mind that I have used Light Flow Light for 2 months now without problems.
Anyone else experience problems with Light flow or Light Flow light since it was updated on the 20th March?
I have been great with my light flow lite..I had a problem with my own battery when I updated Google chrome.. uninstalling that fixed my problem..

After the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware update my battery has been draining extremely quickly. Today it went from 100% to 25% in 6 hours with the device in airplane mode. When I look at the battery usage in Settings it says that Google Play Services used 63% of the battery. I Googled this and I saw that there was an battery drain issue with Play Services that was fixed with ver 4.1. Well, I have ver 4.2. The other high item in battery usage is labeled Media using 27%. I did not use the phone for anything, it sat idle in airplane mode.
I'm also getting random vibrations. Sometimes when I'm holding the phone it will give a quick vibration notification. I don't know where that is coming from.
I initially did the OTA with the device rooted that resulted in some severe problems. So, I unrooted and reflashed it with SEUSS. So, that should have totally wiped the device and put a fresh image on it. I have no other problems other than this extreme battery drain.
Anybody have any clues? Anybody else seeing this?

Install better battery stats and look at what's consuming your battery?
I used my phone pretty heavily today and still have 11% left... I plugged it in about 2 hours ago long enough to grab some pictures off of it...
I'm unsure why Google services went nuts... oh and I had my screen on full brightness for an hour or more while working on a project outdoors in bright sunlight...

Download tegra overclock from google play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegraoverclock&hl=en
you must be rooted, then underclock to the minimum frequency of your cell in tegra overclock, then minimize your cells screens brightness, it will increase yours ncell battery backup much much higher than before ! hit like if i had helped you, as i am new in xda and want to become senior member !
Huh this is not a battery drain issue.
Wipe the batterystats.bin and charge again to 100% without disconnecting the phone. Use it and voilà. (You can use Battery Calibration from NéMa in the Play store)
This will calibrate your battery. I suggest you do it after ant ROM flash or OTA update.
Root required to wipe stats.
Wow, I thought I had this problem licked but it resurfaced again today. Since my first complaint I factory reset the phone and reinstalled everything again. I have been running fine for days since then. But, then today.... same problems. With the phone in airplane mode most of the time I get the following:
I think I figured out the problem. I have a 64GB Micro SD that I had pretty full with music. I've used it without problems for at least 6 months in my Xperia before the update. After the update I noticed an extreme battery drain and it reported that "Media" was using an unusually high amount of resources. So, I removed the card and now I get phenomenal battery life using Stamina. If I don't actively use the device it will only drain less than 1%/hour. Not bad under heavy use also.
I've been out of town since all this started and I haven't had a chance to reformat my MicroSD. I am hoping that if I reformat and slowly add back in some media that it might not reoccur.
I disabled Google crap (plus, maps, play services, magazines, books, movie studio, sync adapters for contacts, calendar, Chrome browser etc). Both me and my wife get approx 5 hrs of screen time (1day + from 100% to 15%) with moderate usage, (WiFi always on, 3g/WCDMA preferred, no sync). It's Google services that run in the background, cause wakelocks and drain battery.

sorry my bad english.

My Zenwatch usually consumes <50% of its battery during a typical day. Today however it was completely dead by 7pm, even though there was nothing unusual about the day - it was worn at the same location all day, and was in close proximity to my phone all day.
Is there any way of tracing what causes this sort of sudden battery drain?
Hello,
same Problem here.
You can use the "Android Wear" app, connect to your watch and press the gear wheel on the upper right, then press on the first entry " Asus Zenwatch 2" and then you see the option "Battery of the watch" in the middled of the screen. It looks the same as you can see it on the telephone but for you watch battery.
I made a few screenshots today:

still ok...
now there has something started sucking the battery empty....
now it has stopped... but only for a moment - later it came back and at 15:30 I had only 13% left. I noticed that the temperature display still was showing 7°C but my car display shows 16".
I restarted the watch now and voilá the temp changed to 16°... very stange
And this is the second watch - the first one I send back to Amazon because of the same "bug" ....
For some reason I can't see any of your screenshots. Any chance or re-uploading them?

I think he was trying to upload a screenshot like the one I attached to this post, it's basically a similar battery usage indicator like the one for the Android phone itself. I don't have anything on here really, yet, because it hasn't been too long since I took it off the charger.
Asus Zentalk forum has walkthroughs
The Asus ZenTalk forum has a walk-through with pictures on how to get to the battery use screen. (I'd post the link for you, but I don't have enough posts yet to post links).
I just had the same problem happen this evening. Everything was fine until about 8pm, with 70% remaining, then two hours later it had plummeted to 15%. I checked the battery stats in the Android Wear app, as suggested, but they didn't help: there were only 2 lines:
- Watch Idle: 5%
- Screen: 2%

That is a pretty drastic and sudden drop. What watch face were you using? Did the watch do (vibrate?) or alert you to anything (view messages, receive a call, etc) during that time?
What are each of your settings in the settings area (what features do you have turned on or off)? If you have wifi turned on where you in an area where it may have been attempting to connect to nearby wifi networks and repeatedly failing (like trying to connect to networks where there are sign-on pages where you have to agree to a user agreement before connecting to a free wifi network)?
If you look at your phone battery usage during that same time (if you still can) does it show anything highly active on your phone during that time? (For example could the phone have been trying to update any of the files or apps on your watch during that time?).
To answer your questions:
- What watch face were you using? Perfection (although the last time I had this problem I was using the Explorer watchface)
- Did the watch do (vibrate?) or alert you to anything (view messages, receive a call, etc) during that time? No - I just got a few notifications when emails came in
- What are each of your settings in the settings area?
- Brightness: 3
- Font size: Normal
- Always on screen: Off
- Wrist gestures: On
- Screen lock: Off
- If you have wifi turned on where you in an area where it may have been attempting to connect to nearby wifi networks and repeatedly failing - No, I was at
home in my study and lounge (within 15 feet of my wifi router at all times)
- If you look at your phone battery usage during that same time (if you still can) does it show anything highly active on your phone during that time? I don't have the ability to look at yesterday's phone battery stats, but I know that there were no app updates or unusual notifications on the phone during that period yesterday

In the days that have followed did the problem of sudden drain continue to occur, or does it appear to have been an isolated incident?
In that time period it experienced the drastic drop were you doing anything repeatedly? (ex: eating food, exercising, reading a book?) Repetitive tasks where you wrist was moving a lot may have been turning on your watch using the wrist gestures, and it seems that wrist gestures (where the brightness level 3, color, etc are activated) may use more battery than always on in its timed-out dim mode does. If you're continuing to experience the problem try going a day with always on screen turned on, wrist gestures turned off, and see if there is a difference in your battery use at the end of the day.
Your watch may also be preforming syncing with your phone at a particular time, and transfer of data across wifi between the two may be draining the battery. You could try turning off the sync setting on your phone for a day, and see if that makes a difference.
Finally you can try turning off wifi, and see how much longer your battery lasts with wifi switched off on the watch.
In the period when it dropped drastically I was sitting on the sofa watching TV. There were no repetitive tasks. In fact I could probably not have been less mobile!
I now have "always on" mode enabled, and have disabled tilt-to-wake. So far it has maintained the usual (low) battery usage, so I'll wait and see if I get a recurrence of the problem.
The problem with turning off sync for a day is that it's unlikely to prove anything. This problem only happens every few weeks, so if it doesn't happen on the day that I have sync turned off then I'll be no wiser.
I'm not sure what you mean by turning off wifi on the watch - do you mean putting it into airplane mode? If I do I would fully expect my battery life to improve, but how would that prove whether it was the potential cause of the rapid 2-hour drain?
I'm watching my watch battery levels very closely at the moment, but if I do notice a sudden drain again what can I do to establish exactly what is happening on the watch at the time? If the watchface is displayed as usual, and there's no evidence of any specific app running on the watch, what other options do I have for finding the cause of the excess battery drain?
After 4 weeks I've just had the same problem on 2 consecutive days. At the end of the first day I notiiced that the "tilt-to-wake" option had become re-enabled (I'm not sure how, as I don't remember enabling it). I disabled it again last night, but today my battery was pretty much dead by 9pm. I tried a reboot earlier in the day, but it didn't seem to help.
The latest version of the Android Wear app seems to have removed all info on battery usage, so this is impossible to diagnose. As things stand, the watch has gone from being an all-day device to a device that won't last a whole day in the last days (
Rather than trouble shooting you should just go for a completely new set up of the watch. Uninstall the wear and ZenWatch manager apps, factory reset the watch and reinstall everything.
I've gone from just under a day to an insane 3-4 days battery life. (I don't use any fitness trackers or ambient mode btw)

So today the problem seems to have gone away. For the first time since the weekend I got through the whole day with only 40% battery usage. This battery drain issue seems completely random, and it's annoying that there's no way of diagnosing it.
Surprised that more people aren't seeing this.

Ah OK I'm still on 1.4.0.2462440.gms and the Play Store isn't showing an update available yet. Fingers crossed I'll get it soon, and that the battery info actually gives me some useful information when I see it draining fast next time.
Like a lot of people I found myself with battery woes on the G4, at first my battery was comparable to my G3, if not a little bit better but over time, and certainly since MM was released, my battery life was quite frankly awful.
Long Story
I was losing power rapidly, even when I was barely touching the phone - so I finally decided to look into it. After carefully monitoring apps, wakelocks etc nothing looked out of place, everything was working normally until I installed my old faithful app - SetCPU, this is a nice basic app that just shows what your CPU has clocked too and how long it spent there in a given timescale and one thing alarmed me greatly. I was getting less than one minute of deep sleep in every 60 minutes the phone was running - now if I had been using the phone for 58 minutes of that hour I would expect this, only I hadn't!
I did more testing, and more testing and more testing but the results were the same, the phone barely entered deep sleep, and when it did it didn't stay there very long.
Now as I said, using all the other apps, and android stats, nothing looked particularly out of place and after a few days of trying everything under the sun to fix the problem I decided to go nuclear. I wiped the phone, installed no third party apps but setcpu and began testing. I left the phone for a period of 10 minutes to see what the deep sleep value was (looking for it to be somewhere between 80 and 100% of time, which it was!) and it seemed to be back to normal, working fine. So then I started to install my core apps, one by one running the same 10 minute test between each one, idea being eventually I would hit whatever app it was that caused me problems.
So I installed upwards of 30 apps, and everything was still fine, in 10 minutes of not using my phone I was getting around 9 minutes of deep sleep, which is what you would expect.
And then came facebook, now I know there are lots of reports of facebook being a bad app blah blah blah, but I have never seen facebook react like this before, and I don't know if it was marshmallow or a mixture of marshmallow and LG - but when facebook is installed my phone stopped sleeping again, at first it wasn't a huge change, but was noticeable it dropped to deep sleeping at about the 40% mark so I had 4 minutes deep sleep in my 10 minute test - force closing facebook made no difference, I tested it again and again, rebooted and again - same results.
I then installed facebook messenger, and my deep sleep dropped again, to about 20%.
I then uninstalled messenger - no change.
I then rebooted - back to 40%
I then removed facebook - no change
I then rebooted - back to 80+ %.
TLDR: The "Solution"
Now for some of you this won't be a solution as you will claim you need the apps, but there are third party alternatives out there that work pretty well without causing this issue.
Facebook (and facebook messenger) on stock MM builds (at least on the G4) causes the phone to hardly ever enter "deep sleep", this means it is always running a CPU clock, albeit the lowest setting, but it consumes far more power than it needs too especially when the phone is not in use.
After removing them my phone is now sleeping fine and my battery life is back to being very good - lost 4% in the last 8 hours (albeit idle, I was asleep), which is much better than losing 4% an hour that I was before facebook was removed.
Go give it a try, install setcpu, reset the timer close go back to your home screen then leave your phone for 10 minutes then check your deep sleep values, then try it after removing facebook (and rebooting).
Let me know how you get on.

Can you do those tests again after disabling the Marshmallow battery optimizing for Facebook app ?

I was having these issues too after upgrading to MM. My battery life was appalling and Facebook was keeping the phone awake for hours at a time. I simply did a full factory reset, and then restored my phone from the most recent backup. My battery life is now excellent, even with Facebook and Messenger installed
There was a wakelock introduced with the new version of facebook about a week ago not sure if it is still relevant. It goes by the name of bugreporting service. Something like that. The same goes with FB messenger. I got pissed off with the official app because of this and got Metal instead
I don't run Facebook (never have) or any messaging other than Hangouts and battery is always great (2-3 days). If you don't need it...uninstall it.
Kindle app was always a great one for running constantly in the background for no reason. So I bought an actual Kindle and didn't use the app.
I totally agree with the OP, I started having the exact issues after I updated to the latest facebook and messenger apps and my phone was entering deep sleep at all. I removed them last night and its much much better now.
My girlfriend's g3 with mm gets this message lots of time

Until a few weeks ago, the Facebook app had a setting where you could choose the sync frequency and I was able to set mine to every 4 hours.
This setting appears to have disappeared now. Could this be the problem?
Nope. It's not the solution. I uninstalled Facebook but am barely getting 2+ hours of screen-on time on v20b.
A Redditor mentioned that some process called 'logd' is eating up resources and killing battery life. I used Terminal Emulator to verify it.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
logd is a separate issue that no one has quite worked out what is causing it - it is to do with error reporting, either from LG or Google apps.
That redditor here. Logd isn't actually logging anything when its CPU usage hits 16% (the problem). You can verify by running logcat in adb shell while watching cpu usage in terminal emulator on phone.
I removed logd by renaming the binary, it's over doubled by SOT from 1-2h to 4+h. As this is my first post on xda I can't link the thread I made on reddit about it -- but you'll find it on /r/lgg4 on the first page ("PSA: How to fix 6.0 / marshmallow logd battery drain (TWRP/root)")
