After installing lollipop OTA, I experienced battery drain, so I did a factory reset and the battery was better than ever. Now recently, for the past 3 days, the battery is awful. Doesn't even keep a charge for like 5 hours. Look at the screenshot. I am fed up of always doing factory resets, and I barely have any apps installed. This isn't normal. I have an SD card, I tried removing it for a day and I still experienced the same battery drain.
Gsam / WLD / BBS?
Providing us your version will also help, you might be using a version that had a battery bug in it

Give it some time
It's been more than a week. I am still experiencing the battery drain. Can anyone please help me? I think I will just factory reset again...

I find battery life unstable too on all Lollipop versions from D to H. Test versions had much better battery life.
I also tried greenifying apps that wake my phone often, but still I see percentage drop even when I don't use the phone. I barely use phone thourghout the day (30mins-1hour on screen time in the end of the day) and I am left with 70% before going to sleep.
Try doing a CSE flash via FlashTool versus doing a factory reset. See if that helps.
I am on MM almost three days and i noticed huge battery drains. Tried hard reset and calibrating the battery, but no luck. Im stuck on 2.5h SOT and it makes me angry. On lollipop i was getting almost 4.5-5h SOT on 3g and data always on. I noticed some lags and downgrade in performance. Shame on you LG, please fix this.. G4 is best phone and we need best software for it.
yep, same battery results for me. i went back to LL
went back to LP too till they get MM rooted
I'm not having this problem with my mm
did you do a full wipe cache ?

I meant a full factory reset after upgrading from LP ?
I have same SoT time like LP.
Can't understand what's wrong with others.
2.5hr that's insane....
Me too ... My battery sucks...i niticed that the drain is more visible in mobile data. I don't know if gsam battery make a correct read in mm but it siad that"system logd" eats battery. In WiFi is side by side with android system but on mobile data is double. A bad joke this update. I wait root appears for lg mm and get rid of this . also chrome and Google now use more battery like before. Where is doze...after night usually I lose 5-6% now 12-13%. It's always like this ... I make the same mistake upgrading to lollipop from KitKat with HTC m8 and go worst. Now the same. Goodbye updates from me. I stay with the original software. I love android but here always sucks ... In the meantime for example my battery lost 3% when I wrote that ?

Yep, I factory reset and reinstalled everything, still poor battery
3 h SOT here too but with greenify (donation version) I reach 4 h.
By the way it's ridiculous..
By the way after I make the factory reset I run gsam monitor with no app inside... The same system logd system dbox or something are in line with the screen. So it's not a misbehaving app it's only a bad implementation of mm made by lg. They want to be the first but they become the worst.
are you using V20b or V20a ??

let me tell you something dude
If you want to get a less battery eater screen you have two solutions :
- Go back to fHD screens like Sony Xperia phones
- Go to amoled panel like note 5 with all of it famous weaknesses (SOT = 5.5 - 6 max )
For me a powerbank is the best solution to enjoy this beautiful screen of G4
Hy dude... I was talking about some background process that apear after mm update. even with this doze mode my phone running out of juice faster in stand by. I don't get your opinion ... You think that with lollipop I have a different screen? Before the update I get easily 4 h sot with some coc playing.
I guess we must wait for MM to get some software updates and optimization .. For now the best is to roll back to LP like i did and wait
you guys are doing something very wrong, my H815 battery life is insane, with heavy use, I cannot run down the battery in a 16 hour day! - I go to bed and the phone is still on over 40% - running stock newest marshmallow 20B with a few tweaks
How you do this ? My battery lasts only 2h screen on time
And how do you get v20B ? I am on v20A and it shows me that i dont have update
Hi,
Since I upgraded to android 6 my battery life got so much worse, I tried about 5 roms, still sucks. Why is this ? should I update radio or something ?
Thank you for reading
How many days are you giving it before trying another rom?
I have a similar experience updating stock OTA update. LP gave me more SOT prior to update. I then factory reset my M8 which improved battery slightly but still not as good as LP

Consider installing something like GSam Battery Monitor in order to figure out what's sucking down your battery.
Also, your battery life will be lower until you make a full round in your phone-- that is, using everything you normally use once or twice, as caches and the system optimizes to your usage. Consider giving a new ROM a few days to a week.
Consider also doing a full system / cache wipe before installing another ROM.
thx for the feed back guys, will try to give it time =)
So Just to announce where I am coming from, I am a Sony fan for the past 4 years, Had the Z2 and was totally blown away by the battery life it offered. Then I got the Z5P and even though the battery performance was nowhere near the Z2 I still got through an entire day with it without issues so I was happy.
Then came the Nougat update and all hell broke loose. I am literally getting just 6 hrs of battery life since the update. And even when it is idle it still drains battery like atleast 2 percent every hour.
Also the charging is very slow. I have a quick charger that used to take the battery life from 0 to 20 in atleast 10 - 15 mins. But now it actually drains the battery if I am using the phone while charging. And yes I have switched off the battery optimization option.
Any help will be appreciated even if it is just a confirmation that I am not the only one having this issue, which will at least let me know that it is not just my phone.
There must be some process with corrupted data after de update which is constantly executing something. I recommend you to do a full wipe, factory reset

Oh did not know this could happen. Will definitely try doing a full wipe and see how things go! Thanks a lot!
I never fully trust OTA updates, because it keeps all the applications data and some special case of your current configuration maybe is not "converted" to the new version and causes the programs to behave weird. Have you looked at the battery usage? Maybe you find the process which a huge % of battery eaten, and just wiping that app data is enough

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I looked at the battery usage stats and no specific app is draining more than 2 percent of the battery over a charge. The only things that have taken most out of the battery are 1. The Screen On Time which is to expected and 2. The Idle Phone which takes around 15% consistently in every charge.

after updating to .372 , i learned from internet that this build has battery draining issues. ( i never faced any )
after updating to .376. , the phone is as steady stable as my other xperias (btw z5p is my 6th xperia )
now there is however a catch.
1. if you updated on OTA , this means the update of 1.2gb via ota only replaced certain files from .305 to make it .372 build (android 6 to 7) --- such OTA updates USUALLY ends up having problems (in general) with battery draining issues. Such problems i personally faced during updating from honeycomb to ics. - in short whenever update is available; always install FRESH
2. if your bootloader is locked then use xperia companion to install fresh after wiping all data. (makebackups)
3. if your phone is not rooted then try disabling all un necessary apps under Apps section.
----
Trivia
You cannot compare Z5p with predecessors like Z3/Z2/Z1 and Z since
1. they were always smaller in screen size / resolution and were not 4k
2. They stops at Android 5 / 6 as their last builds and battery life was awesome w.r.t consumption

however some of friends on XDA agrees that .305 (android 6.0.1) (came out dec2016) is the BEST build ever for z5p. addressed all battery issues and it was the final build for z5p on android 6.0.1
even i am thinking to degrade my phone due to ram consumption of N is very high!
this is why xzp has 4gb ram!
I need to know. If I updated my phone to .376 and it's having this lack of battery life, DO I HAVE TO SELL IT OR DISPOSE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY A LOST CAUSE NOW? (P.S. I immediately did a factory reset after the Nougat install completed.)
Because apparently if you updated to this build, then returned to the last Marshmallow build, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, and reloading nougat will only make things worse. And if you updated to .378, it not only does this not get fixed, it breaks your headphone jack to boot.
Please help. I am freaking out about this battery life. I lost 60 PERCENT IN 6 HOURS OF BASICALLY PODCASTS. ?

Well, after all my trials I flashed MM back and everything is back to normal. The issue is with 7 so not sure what happened to your handset
EDIT: Re-upgraded once again= battery 8 hour life. Go into About Phone, Status and disable battery optimization. The handset reboots and incredibly this morning it was like the old days .

Maybe I'll try that. The best I was able to do was 21 hours with one bar LTE, 6 hour's sleep, and 3h40m screen on time with several hour's worth of Pocket Casts.
i confirm that on build .33 i lost my battery even on stamina mode one percent every 10 minuets over using wifi , it just keeps the battery when device is screen off -_- its horrible i didnt have this kind of problem with .253 and im wondering revert back to MM
Hello, i have a problem with my A2 lite. Battery life is just 2days and 4h SOT. Suspect is system consumption 44%. Have you experienced that someone? I have to try factory reset, or what? Thanks for help.
You should definitely factory reset the phone, you should not be below 6h SoT with this battery... Im regularly getting around 8 hours of SoT depending on what u use...
Same here. 1 day after the november security update and I have almost the same numbers as the OP. Coincidentally, 2 days ago my ticwatch e started draining battery dropping to almost half of what i was used to. I suspect the update messed up something.
No strange battery drain since November update on my side. Maybe an app you use was updated at the same day which is causing the drain.
Facing the same issue after november update. Same usage, same apps. Might have to factory reset
Edit: careless of me lol
So I did factory reset. Issue with battery continues. Android system and google play services using most battery, altogether about 30%. SOT is basically half of what it used to be. Google play services are on the latest Nov12 version.
Edit: Whatever is broken, it also affects the battery life of my wear os device (ticwatch e). After connecting the watch to old cell phone (ascend p7) battery drain of the device stopped
It was the fault of the november security update and now there's another security update which is going to fix the battery draining issue!
Let's wait few days to see. Installed yesterday and the phone battery looked promising... Until paired with my wear os device (Ticwatch e). Then the battery drained started again, on both devices. Google Play Services still have top usage. (I tested the watch with my old phone running on lolipop, all ok there, so it's got definitely something to do with the latest updates)
Had same issue with 1st november patch, now the 2nd seems to have fixed: again slow draining...fine!
I've also experienced bad battery consumption since my 2x November updates, from 9+ hours SOT to 5 hours (approx 2 days to 1 day)
have the same problem, bought the phone, it was offering me upgrade to android 9, i did it, and the battery cannot hold for more than some 29 hours.... i cannot see whats draining it unless i root it, because Gsam cannot see which apps specifically. anyone still have the issue on android 9?

Yes, I have the same issue, on Android 9 I can't get more than 6h ScreenOnTime. That's the reason why I prefer Oreo

GSam Battery Monitor can be granted some rights by adb (no root needed), so it can show consumption per app.
Have a look at
GSam Battery Monitor -> Menu -> More -> Enable More Stats
I ususally have less than 2 days with 6-7 SOT. If it's less, GSam shows me, which app consumed more than it should.

mine says i have to root it in order to enable it. in the same menu.
been browsing the MIUI forum, some people having the same issue, the guys who dont have that issue, are claiming its adaptive batterys fault and that it will normalise in a week or so, when adaptive battery does its thing.
sound odd, but ok.
also, it says that rollback to oreo is not recommendable because some functions could get buggy.
I had a problem after upgrading, downgrading and upgrading again. Was apparently caused by a modem firmware issue. Reflashing the modem from 10.0.3.0 fastboot image fixed it for me.
Showed up as "system" but nothing that could be pinpointed with GSam (root) other than high load in the kernel.

not true. i have done the downgrade without issues. Oreo, in my opinion, is very optimized for our mi a2 lite....im waiting a better Pie version. if you want to read how to do the downgrade here the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/sim-card-issue-downgrading-pie-9-0-t3874350/page6
okay so what should i do now? after downgrading from 10.0.4.0 pie to 9.6.11.0 oreo and rooting and it got even worse than ever. Please advice me fast!

I don't know how you downgraded your phone but I've downgraded mine from 10.0.4.0 to 9.6.11.0, battery life is better than February update. Phone is snappy and had no issues at all (except for SIM2 which I don't use). I've also rooted it with Magisk.
