So how's you g3 battery life. I'm just wonder because I'm running the latest CM 12 builds on my vs985 and am getting around 3 hours of screen on time.(screen on time is how I like measures battery life) I have 2 batteries and and external charger for my G3 with I got threw lg when the had there promotion. But before the g3 got bumped on the stock ROM I used to get about 4 hours of screen on time, but if I'm like most android geek we love our stick android and the latest version of Android. So below is a couple questions I'm wondering
1. What G3 model do you have?
2. How's the battery life?
3. What ROM are you running?
4. Have you found anyway to increase battery?

Guys,
I've been jumping between ROMs since rooting my phone last week and one thing I've noticed is that my battery life takes a big hit when I'm using the G2 ROM.
You'd think that since it's a lot closer to stock Froyo than the Bell Desire Z ROM it would have better battery life, but that not what I'm seeing.
With both ROMs it seems that they will stay at 100% for a two or three hours and then start coming down - however it's much more dramatic with the G2 ROM and it seems as though it's battery drain gets accelerated.
Has anyone else noticed this?

yep,
i have noticed this too,
try an interactive governor with your setcpu and bacon bits, it may help

Are you using the Modaco G2 or CM 6.1 RC1?

For my part, while using CM 6.1RC1 the battery drain was amazingly bad.
Under Modaco G2 ROM, it's more reasonable. For casual use for 7h since being unplugged, I'm at 76%.

My phone's been unplugged for almost 7hrs and I'm at 85% battery on my original Bell ROM.
If you have Spare Parts installed, check Battery History. From there click on the "Running" bar. This will tell you how much time the phone has spent "awake" (this excludes the time the display has been on or while on a call).
I'm at 2hrs 18mins (+20mins with the display on).
Give my stock g2 rom a chance and tell me how that compares. I get better bat life out of stock kernel myself. Bet we could use some uv.
I've noticed something new.
I had my SIM card out of my phone today and it's been unplugged for 5hrs with not cellular network (but everything else going via WiFi) and it's still at 99% battery life.
Uptime is 5hrs 53mins with Awake Time at 1hr 36mins.
Is the cellular connection using more battery than it should be?
it looks like a combination of issues.
1. the android system uses a lot of battery
2.cell standby uses a lot of battery but less than android system
i have a unlocked bell desire z.
installed CyanogenMod RC2 but had to roll back to a sense based rom because the battery drain was just too much.
I figured it out, Kik Messenger was the main culprit.
It's been great since I uninstalled that.
To figure it out o had to restore to a clean rom and install one app at a time. At that point id leave my phone alone for a couple hours and check "wake" time under battery history in Spare Parts. If it was more than 10% we had our app.

seems to me the mocado in my g2 gets better life than the stock g2.
id give up a lot of features for good bat life.
are there any roms created for bat life?

Hi all
This may seem like a stupid question but I'm racking my brain for solutions.
Previously I've been quite impressed with the battery life on the M8, however recently updated to the most recent firmware so I can use the current version of ARHD and since then I've seen a considerable reduction in battery life. For example, today I've been off charge for just under 12 hours and have used the device very little (1 hour 26 of screen on time) and I'm down to 20%, with screen usage right at the top of the battery use chart. I've tried different ROMS, into a GPE ROM, only to see this poor life continue.
The handset was bought from Three in the UK, and on baseband 1.19.21331147A1.09G-20.57.4196.01L_F.
I'm at a bit of a loss basically, and trying to narrow down a culprit. If anyone has got any ideas I'd be very thankful.

I think so, I've been having problems with mine recently but I thought it was because I'd rooted and then unrooted back to stock this week. Now I suspect it might have something to do with the latest FW. I'm managing around 18 hours but there's something keeping the phone awake so it can't get into a full sleep and save the juice.

Hi guys. I'm on the latest FW2.22.401.4 too. On my main uni (rooted but stock) I'm not confronting such problems. But on my secondary unit with ViperOne (M8) installed I'm having such problems sometimes (not always). Think this is quite wired, as Venom works with the stock kernel ....

[Q] Can firmware be related to battery life?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Absolutely. Firmware contains radio baseband, which IMO cell reception is one of the greatest contributors to battery drain (aside from the more obvious factors like screen on time, runaway wakelocks, etc.). It could be that the new radio does not happen to play well in your area. This would also explain if some folks are getting better battery life than you on the same firmware, as reception is often a local factor.
I want to buy a g3 i heard that this phone is really good on every aspect, but someone told me that the battery life isn't that good and the battery easily heats up.
Is that true?
I have one more question, I know nothing about android so my question is can I use stock android 5.0 on g3 instead of what lg is giving me on the phone?
Thanks.
Battery is great on stock lollipop, I get 5 hours of screen time and 24-25 hours total.
There is no stock android on the G3, closest thing are CM roms.
Like said, battery is good. Could be better I believe but it is good. Getting also like 5 hours SOT.
At the moment there is only CM 12 that is close to AOSP Lollipop.

Also what brightness settings each user is using so results will vary
Hi.
I have an question about battery issues with the lg g pad 8.3, soon as i unplug it, 1 % gone, and 10 min 15% WHAT!
Iv'e tested:
-Stock KitKat/JB

-5.0.1 AOSP
And still drains.
Any help?
Thanks!

sounds like a bad battery to me. If you have tested with a bunch of different ROMs and the problem is the same then it's probably a hardware problem. Did you by any chance allow your battery to drop to 0? this is apparently very hard on batteries, though I wouldn't know because I don't want to risk it myself.
battery drain
It does drop about 1% per hour during standby. I wonder is it a side effect of the Snapdragon turbo charge technology.
Before Oreo update battery life was pretty decent. I had gotten 3 - 4 hours of SOT.
Now I upgraded to Oreo and I get at best 2 hours.
I have tried everything; multiples recalibrating methods posted here, Installing greenify, amplify, and many more however nothing have changed.
Accu battery says that the mAh capacity it's around
1750 mAh which is insane for a 2 years phone.
It is worth mentioning that my phone was originally the T-Mobile version, but I followed some post here to be able to convert it to the unlock version.

Oreo battery life is worse than Nougat for everyone, and your battery capacity is down to almost half of what it used to be. So there is nothing you can do, short of downgrading back to Nougat
Actually, when I test accubattery on RR ROM its says that I have about 2659 mAh, so I supposed is some kind of corrupted file.
Battery Is rubbish, could just be the battery
The battery life becomes horrible because of a couple factors. They can all be fixed. But require some work.
1. Replace your battery in the phone or get it replaced.
2. Root your phone install custom ROM (I use leedroid). Also make sure install elemental X or cleanslate.
3. Use alderon666 CPU profile with elementalx app. Also disable touch boost. Delete htc pnp stuff see in other post about profile tweaks.
4. Download Xposed installer and install sdk 26
5. Install amplify (Best app ever). Limit wakelocks and alarms.
I am able to get 5:45 minutes with my phone on Oreo without lag or stutter. I am adjusting further to get 6 hours maybe. But 5:45 is good for me. I've seen better but don't need much better.
Hi, just to share my experience with Android O and Lineage 15.1 on my HTC 10:
With the official Android O update, battery lifetime was not too bad. Not as great as my previous G2, but good enought: I could end a day with around 50% remaining battery.
With Lineage 15.1, battery life got much worse. My battery was depleting to 10% at the end of the day. Even with Greenify, forcing doze, and underclocking, the phone was barely making it. Some system process was constantly consuming the battery, even when the screen was off (com.android.webview:sandboxed_process0 or android.chrome:sandboxed process or something like that; I haven't taken a screenshot, I cannot be sure which one was the top consumer).
What solved it: changing the launcher. Ditching the default Google Now launcher and replacing it with Nova fixed it. Now I'm back to a phone that lasts 2 days. \o/
