Hello, I bought LG G3 D855 and it seems to be a little dent on the battery.
Is it okay or may be potentialy saying that battery is defected?
Is it hot in general or when your are doing certain tasks, my battery gets hot when im doing heavy gaming or watching a long video aswell when browsing on wifi or 4g for a long time continuously.

Are you saying HIT (like a dent) or did you mean HOT???
my D855 and D858 got massive battery drain from Android 5.0 update and got HOT for no reason, and i downgraded back to 4.4 and everything is better, but it still get hot when using it for a while, probably from the screen.

What are the main issues of the lg g3 (planning to buy one)..
Does it have the screen issue like the g2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd5BTKpViUk
is there a fix for the overheating and shutdown issues?
how is performance in gaming?
is it possible to reduce the resolution to 1080p to save battery and gain performance (and maybe prevent overheating)?

Read through The G3 threads you will know the answer to all of these.
You cant reduce resolution.
Gaming is decent
I have had no such overheating since 10H update and no shutdown issues ever.

OK the. Do other users also have temperature and shutdown issue fixed with the lg update?
Never had shutdown or overheating no matter what firmware. It's abit laggy tho but way better with art etc.
I guess you guys are not heavy users? cuz I read a lot of users have overheating issues with message prompting them to decrease brightness as it is overtheating and may shutdown (what the heck? ... LG really lost it on that one... Do you really expect to get that kind of message on a flagship pricey phone??). LG seems to be making great phones but each time there's a deal breaker. (screen issues with LG G2 and now overheating/performance issues on the LG G3)... I hope they get it right with the G4.
Did antutu x benchmarks, 3 times in a row with 90% brightness without auto with an ambient temp of 30c. I actually can't remember if my score was lower last time (because of throttling), gonna check it when I receive my phone again.
No message about high temp etc tho.
ok you are probably not a heavy user.

I am a very heavy user. No issues. People need to understand a simple factory reset and installing the latest update helps. When i first got it i performed a factory reset and installed thr latest update manually so i never really had time to see if it had issues on previous firmware . although i did run a benchmark when i got it it got really hot. But i did the same after the update it just got a little warm nothing to worry about.
ok. I want to know if other users have these issues solved with the updates like you.

Zero issues, apart from the screen sharpening and abysmal battery life when the screen is on
abysmal battery life?
No one is experiencing this lg g2 issue on the G3 right?:

nice video showing that how lg g3 compares to the cat 6 version and the galaxy s5 prime
Sometimes the phone become hot specially when the phone is charging and I'm texting and browsing 'usually in a dark room so the brightness is 0%'
And yes my phone brightness decreased to 90% automatically and sometimes 80% due to overheating
Lg g2 was faster than g3 and you can see it when you use it for a long time
Overall. Go for it its awesome device

Root shouldn't impact battery, it's what you do afterwards. I do it know what my battery life was like before rooting it because I rooted it the day I got it

I use greenify with xposed to stop excessive wakelocks. I also don't use location tracking and I wasen't playing any games. Other than that, its really about how you use your phone, I use it for bluetooth streaming in my car and it still gets good usage as seen above. It took me a while to get it back to 5+ hours SOT because I had random processes draining my battery.

I've only had my phone for about 24 hours, but after rooting and installing Greenify, I'm getting very good battery life. Biggest trick is finding all the apps that are triggering wakelocks (Usually LG/Carrier bloatware). In my case, it was the T-Mobile apps that kept waking my phone up. With my screen off, there is little drain. Obviously, with the screen on, it is the biggest drainer. After a few charges/discharges I will post my battery stats
Hi guys!
I'm thinking of buying one of these phones but i really can't choose which one...

Is this an answer?? Of course i've done a research.
Videos, benches etc, are a point of view.
Daily use, reliability, stability, updates, support etc, may have a difference.
If you like to flash roms or at least have the option, oneplus one wihtout a doubt.

G3
3GB ram/32GB emmc
µSD card slot up to 128GB capacity
5.5" QHD display
13mp camera w/laser focus
Rootable with Stump (or purpledrake) , TWRP with Bump! Some carriers have patched the exploit so read up if you are considering the G3.
My G3 lasts 48 hours between charging with SOT of 5.5-6 hours of normal use at 60% auto brightness.. YMMV.
My G3 Antutu score is 41252 with no tweaks (see attached pic). YMMV.
I can sing praise of the G3 till I'm blue in the face, but ultimately, you need to decide what's best for you.

I don't use facebook, Lookout (at&t antivirus), disabled some at&t apps. I mostly use the G3 for emails, texts (not hangouts), youtube, flixster, web surfing and calls. I turn off auto sync. I sync mail manually. Brightness at 60% auto. I still have 73% battery left from last night's charge (see attached pic). The only thing I do different than most G3 users is that I use the Apple charger (I had a 3GS before getting the G3) instead of the LG charger. Like I said YMMV. I haven't experienced any of the problems other users mentioned in the G3 forums. I have the G3 on wifi mostly and phone signal strength varies between 2-4 bars.
Wow, if you shut it off and only turn it on when you use it battery life will be even better
. On a more serious note leave your autosync on, install a wake-lock detector, Greenify the hell out of anything you don't need to be waking up the phone, and see thread about greenifying Google Play Services in this forum. That will get you through almost two days without the inconvenience of turning off auto sync on everything.

True, Greenify will extend battery life, but also introduce its own wakelocks nonetheless. I don't have time to check emails every time a notification goes off. I rather check my emails several times a day. The majority of emails is junk anyway. I do check each text as they come in though. Anyway, do what's best for you.
Hello!
After the update, for some unknown reason, the battery percentage goes down really really fast, and it was not like that on the 10B. Just a general idea. When I listen to music, and the mobile data is on, it would go down from 57 to 54 in half an hour. Something is not right, and this happens ever after I made a factory reset...
Did anyone with the same problem managed to solve that crazy battery percentage decrease ?

Not really had chance to notice battery life properly, but it doesn't seem to be draining faster. Also my device has definitely been getting much warmer since the update. Think I'm going to roll it back to 10b(c)

Yeah it's possible, need the KDZ of the appropriate version to flash using the engineering tools.
There is a guide already posted in the General section, look in the sticky roll up thread.
The Moto G5's battery is absolutely dog s*** can't believe that people are getting over a day with this phone. When the phone's screen is off that's when it great. When it's on it's crap!! Help?
Could you share your screen on time? I am still satisfied with battery performance of my moto g5, even though the battery is not large enough and the chipset really consume a lot of power,

Don't know what you're doing but I use my phone non stop all day and right now after I unplugged it at 7am this morning I still have 66% left at 4pm

Actually, the battery is quite good. Even with stock ROM. Even with .15 ROM (that's what I have right now).
But I have disabled Moto Display and few other things, perhaps this helps a bit.
You should try to find out what eats your battery. In worst case, try Factory Reset.

Unknown as you have pulled the stats just after unplugging the phone from power
Don't know if any one noticed but the moto g5 kernel has performance as the default scheduler. Not really the best for battery life at all.
