Hello everybody!
So I bought this phone about a week ago, and it is fantastic. I got used to those back buttons really fast, and the performance is pretty good. Not the best, but it's good considering the fact that I had a Galaxy s2 before.
Anyway.
A few days ago I decided to test the battery, so I charged it at 100% and played San Andreas for 30 minutes.
When I checked, it was at 91%. That was pretty good for me.
...
Yesterday morning, I woke up, unplugged it, and started browsing 9gag.
I was shocked to see that the battery was around 85% after only 10 to 15 minutes of browsing.
I thought it was the app, but when I checked the battery stats, it only consumed 1%.
You can see in the screenshot that the screen is taking a lot of battery.
I always keep the brightness at 40 - 50%, never at 100%.
I also don't have any "memory cleaning" apps or crap like that.
So. What can I do?

if you want good battery life
first start with the software:
root the device install greenify and amplify
if you've changed roms or dirty flashed ones just remove the current one and reinstall it i prefer cloudy 2.5 cause it's awesome with some basic simple kernal
you can underclock the cpu and gpu
remove useless apps
try changing the battery if it 2 years old with a genuine one from LG
for me am rocking cloudy 2.5 with greenify and amplify installed with 90% brightness and wifi always on and it get's me 4:30 to 5h of SOT
good luck mate
Well I just bought it and I don't want to lose the warranty.
I know that I can root it and flash a better rom, but I am wondering if I can do something with this one.

Simple answer: No.
Long answer: No without root you're not going to come out anywhere.
And judging from your posts / questions you don't bring the skills necessary to customize and debloat
(no offense but it takes time and is really easy to mess up resulting in the opposite as in more battery drain)
your stockrom properly that 's why it would be simpler to just flash an well prepared Rom instead.
Simple solution: 1. Root it, 2. Install TWRP, 3. Backup, 4. Wipe, 5. Flash Fulmics or Cloudy.
After that you have a solid base (a properly debloated rom) you can search for guides regarding Maximizing Battery life.
Or you could just skip flashing Fulmics / Cloud and move straight to this point and keep your Stock Rom.
Anyway - root is a must have for getting battery under control (and there are countless threads regarding battery savings around).
Cheers
Thanks for the answer. I am going to root it and flash a proper rom.

Okay, I am back again.
So I tried a lot of methods to root the device, but no luck. I've the 855 international model with lollipop.
Apparently, this model is patched. Can someone help me out with this?

Hey All,
As per the N00B video, I'll try to keep this short.
So today was my first full day with the SGS3 (ATT). The battery life is ABYSMAL. I had it in airplane mode for about 8 hours (for reasons not important to the thread) and light usage (Facebook/internet) for 20 min. With another hour or so with all radios on and no usage. Add all that up, and I went from 100% to 1%. Unlike most others, my biggest usage was Android System....Not screen. I am un-rooted. I've downloaded no different apps then with my previous Android (OG ATRIX). I had/have Lightflow on both. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I downloaded BetterBattery, and will have it running after I charge up my phone.
And if this is discussed elsewhere, my bad. Maybe point me in the right direction?
Okay, it is my opinion, only having had my 474 for a little over a month that you have a rouge app.... delete lighrflow. After that, see how it goes.
I have been using the stock rom for the entire time (rooted the day i got it) and have tried 2 roms. Ive tried juiced defender and that didn't
really yield great results. I'm not considering using the stock ROM with kootz or whatever it's called kernel. Ive read that that combo
yields better results with regards to battery life.
I'll post in the next few days. Need to run it for thru 3 charges to see results.
Anyone else care to chime in??
I've run Ultimatum 1.3 and Kylan.... admittingly, not long enough to see if battery life improved....

Use BetterBatteryStats and try to track down any wakelocks that are happening

As others mentioned, do the better battery stats and un install light flow. I believe that the developer acknowledged the battery drain for the S III.

Could be the gsiff-daemon bug. Try turning on Power Save and see if it helps. I normally get 15-17 hours per charge. That's with everything synching every 15 minutes, chrome browsing, Facebook checking, game playing, app downloading, and general reading.

Hi,
So my phone battery was pretty off today and I checked my battery usage. This is the result.
Any ideas? It doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary on running apps...

are you running stock?
are you rooted?
If you have recently flashed a new ROM, its common for the battery % to get thrown off. There are battery calibration apps on the market to fix it.
If you are running stock, then charge it for a full 8 hours minimum. Run it all the way dead, til it turns off. Then charge it a full 8 hours again.

Negative ghostrider. The battery calibration apps are 100℅ snake oil. They do nothing that unplugging the phone after a charge does not do. Also, wiping battery starts after flashing a rom is pointless since it not only has nothing at all to do with indication, but that is also a clean slate when flashed. The old advice to do this was based upon folds not understanding how both the operating system and the battery's fuel gauge operate.
Also, I wouldn't advise doing the second one too often as it shortens the life of the battery. Discharge to the point of shutdown is unhealthy for it and full charge/discharge cycles shorten its serviceable lifespan.
OP- It would seem that your phone is awake significantly more than it should be if you weren't using it all that much. Google Services should account for less battery use than it is, and idle should account for more. A screenshot of battery use with more details would prover to be very useful. Also, you can use the app BetterBatteryStats to get some insight as to what may or may not be misbehaving.

I've flashed CM 10.1, using the 28th of December nightly.
Hoping it was just the nightly that caused it, but it's gotten worse throughout the day.

My best guess is that it may be location services draining your battery.

Just disabled it in maps. Is it possible that it turned itself on somehow? I haven't had this problem until today.
Also, would there be a reason why the stock messaging app font size is almost double the size? I ended up installing the 'alex' font to make it a bit smaller, but it's still big in comparison to what it used to be.
I saw a post about this, but I can not find it now.

The android system % is really high. For reference the screen time is at 2h 58min in that shot.
The post I saw about it mentioned a patch that fixed that in some phones? Just curious if there is something I can do to fix it and improve the battery life further.
This is on jedi xp9 with saber kernel.
What were you doing with the phone in that one hour? If nothing serious you have a battery leak problem. 31% for one hour is just not right. I used to install a calendar widget that causes leak like crazy, even after I un installed it. Had to do a hard reset to fix it.
1hr? The battery was at 1d 11h and some change, but yeah I am prolly going to do a clean install. I'm thinking maybe my titanium backup is goofed up.
Just wasn't sure if there was a system patch that was for that, I thought I had read that somewhere.
Its just the only thing using battery. That's good. Youre getting phenomenal battery life. Trust me. When I posted my last message I didn't see a pic of your time stamp. Do math on total CPU usage of the android system. Also Google backup transport uses a good chunk. Disable that if you don't want it. (When flashing a new rom Google transports your old backup onto your device)
Anyhow here you go. Do the math and see how much battery life to CPU usage I would get verse what you got. If you are never using your phone the is and or system will eventually kill it. Using a larger percentage. It looks like you aren't even using your phone. 36 hours of battery is insane. Also note my screen was on just a little over 3 hours. (At minimal brightness always)

Sorry my bad. But it still doesn't look right to me that your system is burning more battery than the screen.
It seems like your phone was idle for the most part of that battery time. If so, then it's normal to show more android system usage percentage than other things, since there are background processes running. If that's the case, your battery drain is good, especially if you're 4g was on the entire time.

Yeah I never turn the 4g off. Guess I was just miss understanding the post.
Yes the phone was idle a lot, normally is on my days off. During my work week im looking at 18-20 hours getting me to 60-40% and me charging it it before bed. Being in reinforced concrete buildings 2 stories underground causing me to the have a poor signal I figured that was pretty decent.
Anyway thank you guys for the information.
Or is there any battery optimizations, both software and hardware that actually helped in giving more juice per usage? I'm thinking between G3 and G2 now and battery life is the deal breaker.
Came from G2, Z2, M8. This is the worst. Getting 3-4hrs SOT only at 60% brightness.
Yeah, I'm getting it sorta bad as well.. 3-4 sot on a daily basis... I find myself charging it twice a day lately.. But then again, I'm a heavy user.
On the other hand, my brother in law is getting 4 hours sot as well but over the course of 2 days... His usage is a low to moderate one.

The G2's battery life "out of the box" is significantly better than the G3. However, by using Greenify I've been able to get pretty close to the battery life I had with my G2. The deciding factors that pushed me toward the G3 was the ability to add memory via external sd and have a removeable battery.

Don't let them fool u. This was with 5+ hrs SOT. Rooted.
Scribed hence forth from thy LG G3
Or you can go the distance if need be
Scribed hence forth from thy LG G3
I've done a factory reset, tried zonerom, tried both kernels for the 851 and yes. Overall I would say about 30% less than my g2. Standby time is great, if not better than g2 but the sot time is significantly worse. I ordered a 2nd battery/charger so hopefully that makes this a non issue but kinda a pain to deal with.
Please post questions in the questions and answer section.

I'm getting bad battery life too, I'm rooted, use greenify and have my brightness on 65%.
I have at home 2 g4 to upgrade to Marshmallow. in the 2 battery is spent faster than lollipop. you know why and how to fix it?
Up?
Enviado desde el GamePad de la WiiU
What to fix?
At least post some details so people can start thinking about some resolution.
What's draining your battery? Misbehaving apps? Apps not updated to MM? etc.
Terrible battery life on Lg G4 after marshmallow update! Help!!!
I'm very angry and very unsatisfied with this update. I ruined a perfect phone! From 20 h/ 4 h sot to come 12h/3h sot is a big difference. I was expecting a better battery life but I get the opposite. In the meantime I make some research and I noticed that the biggest drain is on mobile data ,especially background. Gsam battery monitor chart show me a thing called " system logd" on top. This thing is on 35% and android system or play services only 7%. Wow!!! On WiFi is there too but something like 8-10%. OK...I said I can rid of this... After 3 days no way! I clean the cache, factory reset ... Nothing changed. I think is a misbehaving app, I go in safe mode...the battery still the same ,location off...the same thing. I don't know what to do...root my phone? I hate marshmallow
Off topic: is the last time I make updates. Is the second time I break a perfect device with this, first a flawless HTC m8 running KitKat with lollipop, now my lg with marshmallow.
/me too.
Same apps as before updating to M. No changes except battery draining fast. Before update at this time (12pm Spain) usually 80-85% after full charge during night, now 65% with same use, same settings...
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

If you kill most of not needed Google apps, you're pretty fine with overall lifetime. See screenshot - it's awesome & I am using 20B.

As I said earlier. 2 G4's in house consumption has increased. 1 became normal update, on the other with full wipes before and after installing marshmallow and reinstalling all applications and games.
In the 2 I had to re-lollipop for battery after several cycles, if it is true that improvement but fails even to match the performance they had in lollipop.
In Marshmallo barely exceeded 2 G4 screen 3 hours, with very little lollipop exceeds 5 hours of screen
